    The game should be at 12pm (central) on NBC?

    the womens gold game took too long, so that delayed it a bit. and then team USA brought the wrong jerseys, so they had to head back to where they were staying and get them...so it might be a while depending on traffic and everything. but it will happen.

    Yes, the game is delayed due to jersey issue. Will start soon.

    That fact that the NBC guys actually called it "JerseyGate" makes me want to smack someone

    Wrong jerseys?

    Can't blame the millionaire players for that.

    Again, after watching the first half, can anyone tell me why Lebron didn't get more time. Its ridiculous. Larry Brown should be criticized as much as these players have been. I know he doesn't have a lot of time to evaluate his players. But it shouldn't take long to figure out Lebron is probably your best or second best guard on the team.

    US Up by 10 late in the 4th.

    Good to see they didn't mail it in. The US bench has been standing most of the second half.

    Game over uSA won 104-96.

    FIBA now says both teams brought the correct jersey's (white) and both teams were requested to bring their other color but USA got their color jersey first so the game started. Sounds like a FIBA screw up.
